It always seemed so selfish to me...

To ask for everyone's prayers. But I'm asking, not just for my family - but for everyone in the islands - we could use your prayers for safe passage.

My wife and I are right at the edge of the evacuation zone, so I don't know. To make this board appropriate: I'll try to save a few cards, but nothing is guaranteed.

God bless us all.

I wish only the best for you and the entire island. Good luck bud, my prayers are with you guys.

I'm sure I just missed something? But hope things are ok for you and your family

I hope the evacuation goes smoothly and everyone is safe. hopefully the flooding damage isn't too devastating.

if case anyone isn't aware there is a Tsunami warning in effect for Hawaii due to a 8.8 magnitude earthquake off the coast of Chile last night. the entire Pacific region is under a Tsunami warning.

there was also a 7.9 magnitude earthquake off the coast of Japan on Friday. a Tsunami Warning has been issued For Okinawa

you are asking for others also so no problem. hope all to be safe .

Do you think it's possible that if both quakes each cause a tsunami that they could somehow run into each other???

I don't know if that's possible but it sounds pretty scary.

Yeah, I guess anything is possible, right? I know I wouldn't want to be around if those 2 came together!!!

Tsunami's aren't a single wave that go somewhere... It is a ball of energy in the water that usually leaves its central point with the same force in a 360 degree circle... So even though the Japan based wave and the Chile based wave are coming from different directions, there is a chance they could build on each other in certain directions if they hit each other at the right time (very unlikely). The force omitted by each wave when hitting head on would be like a game of tug-o-war almost. where most likely 1 wave would be stronger than the other, which would stop the weaker wave from moving forward and greatly diminish the force of the other wave...basically moving in the direction of the stronger wave with a new net force. But remember the waves are 360 degrees around so there are a couple areas where the waves are moving in the same direction and if they hit at the exact right time the net force of each wave would add to each other causing an unbelievable force. This is highly unlikely and much more likely that one would follow the other if they last that long. God Bless and good luck to anyone in these areas. get in a tall building and stay inside.

you and everyone on the island are in my familys thoughts and prayers.
wish yous the best and god bless.

Not selfish at all. Will do.

asking for prayers in times of need is never a bad thing.. you have mine and I hope all is well with you and your family.

Good luck Lance. Please report in when possible and God's speed to you, yours, and all.

Scott, if you're around, the same is true for you sir.

I hope everything ends up ok Lance. We will pray for all of you . Ken

Lance- I hope it turns out like 99% of the other tsunami warnings! Parayers are being sent your way just in case!

Thoughts and prayers coming from Illinois. God bless and be safe.

I hope for you, your family and everyone in Hawaii that this becomes nothing more than a precautionary measure and you are able to safely return to your home soon!

My prayers are with you. Stay safe.

I don't think its selfish at all to ask for prayers. I'm not a deeply religious person but I feel that amazing things can happen with the power of prayer and that the more people doling out the prayers, the better off we all are. This is a potentially catastrophic event and I would hope that everyone would take a moment to think about those that could be affected and pray.

Stay safe. I understand the first waves should be on you guys around 11:20AM HT(4:20PM ET). We're all here for ya.
